QDM and QDR Explained Using The RMI! [Most Common Pilot Job Interview Question ANSWERED].

In today's video, we are going to talk about QDM, QDR, and Ground Station Quadrant.

The QDM is the relative bearing to the Station, the station can be a VOR or an NDB.
The QDM is used to fly inbound to your selected ground station, so, if you want to fly to your VOR you simply need to set the QDM on your heading.

The QDR is the relative bearing from the ground station. The QDR will tell you on which radial (from the VOR) your Aircraft is located.
So, if you look at the QDR you will know on which radial you are.

A very common question asked to the Pilot during a job interview is: In which VOR quadrant is your Aircraft located?

In order to answer this question, you need to find out what is your QDR. Once you know your QDR you simply located the aircraft in one of the 4 quadrants. So, if you have a QDR from 0 to 90 you will be on the first quadrant, a QDR from 091 to 180 you'll be on the second quadrant, from 181 to 270 you will be on the third and from 271 to 360 you will be on the 4th quadrant.

This is probably the best explanation of the said concept. You're doing an amazing job! Keep it up and I'm definitely going yo go through your other videos. Really can see the passion you have while explaining it and your explanation is very very simple and quick to understand. ✌🏻✌🏻

[CanadienWoodsman]

Thank you sir! I am studying for my airline exam after 4 year of bush flying and all that instrument theory was far in the back of my head.

[kamranbhatti]

well done Gabriel. You do through you maximum energy for simplifying basics and these tips are very helpful. Truly appreciate.

[alexanderlayouni]

As always ! One of the best channels on youtube ! Really appreciate your work, very helpful during ny assessment! Thanks again

[darrenkernan]

Absolutely Brilliant thank you, I'm going for an assessment and I didn't know how to explain this, when I was asked but this is clear as a sunny day! Thank you

[jaiburde]

Great videos by you Capt.

I do have few requests on how to perform in B737 simulator
1. DME arc approaches with Dual FMC failure
2. How to fly Raw Data ILS approaches
3. Engine failure at V1
4. NDB approaches.

Cheers!!!!

[هديبرعي-لر]

Thanks alot for great video..
Concerning the quadarant ? Is it help me to know to/ from indicator?

[embrj]

When you pronounce QDM sounds hilariously dirty in Portuguese lmao

[steffenleo]

Good Day Capt Gabriele.... anothet great explained video... 👌👍👍...

What ist abbreviation of RMI? In a Boeing 737NG plane which button should we push to shown a compas rose with QDM und QDR Arrow on navigation display?

Have a nice weekend... 🙏👍👍

[aliasghar]

very good for sim assesments to brush up... great!!

[tutumaina]

Studying for an exam and this really helped. Thank you!

[drseven]

Have a nice weekend Captain. Thank you so much for your great work ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[marekiwanowicz]

Thank you a lot, I have an incoming assessment in dublin and I found your videos very helpful and meaningful!

[Tim-ov]

Qdr qdm only for ndb(bearing, radial inboun or outbound for vor, If it’s not right, correction me

[rohrichoak]

I should definitely practice that. I usually rely on visual clues (VFR) and the GPS. And this knowledge must be practiced on a small aircraft that only gives you the basics for navigation.
I'm sorry if I failed to find it, but do you have a cabin pressurization setup video for the Boeing 737-800?

[extremelyvladimir]

Very excellently explained, thank you

[giacomo]

Hi there! This is a really good explanation! I attend a high / flight school and sometimes we use also QTE and QDJ... what's the difference between QDR and QDM? I know that they refer to the real north...but I'm not sure... could you please give me a clearer explanation ? thanks. Greetings from Italy!

[BartłomiejTyszkiewicz]

Gabriel Thank You! You're the best!

[dadrider]

I thought that qdr, qdm are terms used only on NDBs and in VORs we use the term Radial.
